The most successful school I saw during my book research was Excellence Boys Charter School in New York. Those students are several years away from applying for college, but I predict similar outcomes there.

My question: Can elite charters in urban neighborhoods (and by elite I mean the quality of instruction, not the performance level of incoming students) achieve the same results with coed classes? KIPP seems to be doing that.
